Play is an often-untapped component of the learning process, but one that educators increasingly view as a crucial element of a well-rounded education. Making the learning process fun and engaging creates a natural and effective environment for young minds to immerse themselves in learning, helping them to absorb new information through experiences. Makerspaces and other hands-on learning activities provide students with exciting projects that empower them to hone critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills.
The following hands-on resources are among the most popular with students and educators. Use them to equip your Makerspaces and enrich the lessons in classrooms.
3D Printers: This popular technology lets students create three-dimensional objects from their own digital designs, cultivating design and engineering skills.
Design and Fabrication Tools: Students love using laser and vinyl cutters to precisely customize materials, giving them more ways to bring practical and creative design projects to life.
Building and Construction Kits: Building blocks or modular construction pieces empower students to flex their creativity, engineering skills, and problem-solving ability through hands-on assembly.
Robotics Kits: Kids love robots! These kits include programmable robots and related sensors and motors that give students a hands-on education in robotics, engineering, and coding.
